Deep Polymers Receives 'Sell' Rating from MarketsMOJO, Underperformance in Market Raises Concerns

Deep Polymers, a microcap company in the chemicals industry, has recently received a 'Sell' rating from MarketsMOJO on May 21, 2024. This downgrade is based on the company's flat results in December 2023, with net sales at a low of Rs 23.34 crore. In comparison to the market (BSE 500) returns of 36.54%, the stock has only generated a return of 0.80% in the last year, indicating underperformance.
One of the key factors contributing to this downgrade is the company's technical trend, which is currently sideways with no clear price momentum. This trend has worsened since May 18, 2024, and has resulted in a negative return of -1.24%. However, Deep Polymers has shown healthy long-term growth with an annual net sales growth rate of 4.88% and an operating profit growth of 162.68%.

In terms of valuation, the company has a fair valuation with a ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) of 9.3 and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 2.3. Additionally, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. However, it is important to note that while the stock has generated a return of 0.80% in the past year, its profits have declined by -13.8%.

It is also worth mentioning that the majority shareholders of Deep Polymers are the promoters, which could potentially impact the company's decision-making and performance. Overall, with the recent downgrade to 'Sell' and the underperformance in the market, investors may want to carefully consider their investment in Deep Polymers.
